hair dye during pregnancy

I have naturally reddish brown hair (I HATE IT) so I dye it black often and was told by my doctors that it's okay to dye my hair as long as it's in a well ventelated area... I'm in my last trimester it seemed as if the hair dye wouldnt really stick... it just turned into a med brown and not a black so I thought okay I will leave it on longer.. I left it on for the full 30 minutes and still I got brown. I have googled this online and have found nothing about it relating to pregnancy......

but this was never a problem before.... anyone going through something similar?

My beautician once told me it's perfectly safe to have your hair dyed during pregnancy, but due to the constant change in hormones, it's never a guarantee that it will take nor will you get the right results.
